The Hald Leather Multifunction Watch by Skagen

The Hald Leather Multifunction Watch is a casual, minimalist accessory by the Danish brand Skagen. Featuring a raised case, the design is reportedly more comfortable than the average wristwatch. The case is made of stainless steel and houses a three-hand quartz movement and a mineral crystal face. Said face is marked with numerals, and there are two subdials indicating the 24-hour time and the date. The watch is brought together with a classic leather strap and stainless steel buckle. Available in three colorways, the model comes in brown and gray, cobalt blue and brown, or navy and white. Like all of Skagen’s timepieces, the Hald Leather Multifunction Watch comes with a lifetime warranty on the internal movement, the hands, and the dial. Buy the timepiece online from Skagen for $165.
